One of the best things about this is that it can be sold as a complete package and could possibly run xp or win 7 with a gui built specifically for the small screen , possibly even using the windows 8 GUI for businesses that have that software running on there systems and don’t want to change it..

This seems like the device everyone has been waiting for, just imagine, carrying around your pc in your pocket and docking it at work or home. Damn i want one but the price is just too high for me, although i am sure many businesses will be watching this closely.

As the phone will be docked most of the day i would say the battery needs to run for a good 8 hours to be competitive but even 4 hours of full use would be great for business use as it would obviously be charging while docked.Imagine doing all your work on this device and just taking your phone to the boardroom and putting it into a dock to do a presentation. Wow the possibilities of this device are endless.

Looking for the negatives i suspect for personal use battery life would need to be longer than a days use and for the processor not to run too hot. I hate fans and hope they don’t use that to cool it down though, maybe the next gen Intel processors are the ones that will be super power efficient and run for at least 12 hours of full use per charge.

Maybe they should be using this as the prototype and waiting for Intel to provide the next gen chip for manufacturing in bulk.
